<br />
<br />Although this report covers two National Topographic Map Series 2 exp 0
<br />quadrangles, the data for each quadrangle are presented separately. Evaluation of the
<br />data by quadrangle resulted in the delineation of areas in which water and/or
<br />sediment uranium concentrations are notably higher than surrounding background
<br />concentrations. The major clusters of anomalous water samples were found in areas of
<br />the Denver Basin underlain by the Pierre, Laramie, Fox Hills, Denver, and Arapahoe
<br />Formations. Most of the anomalous sediment samples were collected in areas of the
<br />Front Range underlain by Precambrian crystalline rocks, particularly granites of the
<br />Silver Plume-Sherman group. Many of the anomalous sediment samples are from sites
<br />located near fault zones. The data in this report are also presented by geologic/
<br />physiographic province because background uranium concentrations in Front Range
<br />samples differ significantly from those in the Denver Basin. Denver Basin waters have
<br />higher mean uranium concentrations (mean 14.4 ppB) than Front Range waters (mean
<br />3.3 ppB). Conversely, Front Range sediments are more uraniferous (mean 14.7 ppM)
<br />than those in the Denver Basin (mean 6.1 ppM). These differences in background
<br />uranium concentrations between Front Range and Denver Basin samples can be
<br />attributed to differences in regional geology, physiography, and (in the case of water)
<br />the ratio of surface water to ground water sites sampled. There is a significant
<br />northward increase in uranium concentrations in water samples from the Denver
<br />Basin. The higher uranium concentrations in water samples from the northern part of
<br />the basin are probably due to leaching of uraniferous strata in the Pierre and Laramie
<br />Formations which crop out in that area.
